Introduction to Data modeling

Short notice, but join us at Charleston Southern for Brian Kelley's talk on Introduction to Data Modeling
Abstract - 
Improperly built bridges and buildings fail and collapse. Improperly built database do, too. Unfortunately, database design is becoming a lost art, leading to issues with both performance and data integrity. In this presentation we’ll look at the keys to proper database design. We’ll start with requirements gathering. Then we’ll tackle the logical design of the database. We’ll consider entities, domains, relationships, and proper normalization. Finally, we’ll move on to discussing how to implement our design, specifically using SQL Server.
